🐉 March Book Club Pick: I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons

What if dragons weren’t legendary terrors—but persistent household pests?

From the beloved author Peter S. Beagle comes a witty, whimsical fantasy about a young dragon exterminator who’d much rather be a prince. In a kingdom where dragons are more nuisance than nightmare, Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax faces smoky chimneys, singed curtains, and a destiny he’s not sure he wants.

✨ Expect:

*Classic fairy-tale vibes with a modern twist
*Clever humor and heart
*Themes of identity, duty, and growing up
*A cozy fantasy feel with Beagle’s signature charm

📚 Perfect for fans of character-driven fantasy, playful world-building, and stories that balance lightness with deeper meaning.

It’s all fun and games until someone sets the castle on fire!
